Sure, but Bird Rights/team option give you the theoretical optionality of either.They should honestly want salary for next year if it is attached to decent players or expiring. It will be easier to do a sign and trade for Ky than an outright FA signing. Same with almost any other FA. Pat Riley sits in his office and laughs at these assholes thinking they need actual cap space to sign FAs.
Again, what we got and can offer.
